Another one of Beaton's major projects was designing the costumes and sets for Coco, the Broadway musical starring Katharine Hepburn as Coco Chanel. One of the most expensive productions of its day, Beaton created over 250 costumes which were based on Chanel designs. Beaton won a Tony award for Best Costume Design for his work here in 1970.
